Conspiracy, no, but it does raise W’s stature.

Except when you remember the unnecessary Iraq war, which isn’t over even now.

When the thought wandered through my head, I dismissed it…………….but it lingered a little longer than necessary.

…Which you have to admit would be a HELL of a trick!

(2008) “Mr Bush, I’m concerned how your legacy will look”“Aw, we’ll fix it in post”…

W Bush told people that he would look good as a war time president, so he started two wars to look good. How did that work out for ya?

A goofy mass murderer president does not look any better standing next to a raving wanna-be nuclear holocaust starter president.

I still hold Dubya in contempt for his bypassing the U.S. judicial system in the Jose Padilla case and the whole “Enemy Combatants” legal fiction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Padilla_(prisoner)

“Jose Padilla was born in Brooklyn, New York” and “Padilla traveled to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq. On his return, he was arrested by U.S. Customs agents at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on May 8, 2002, and held as a material witness on a warrant issued in the state of New York stemming from the September 11, 2001 attacks.”

OF COURSE, he needed to be arrested and tried… But by the U.S. Legal system, not a military court, and definitely not tortured at Gitmo.

The U.S. Legal system is all about precedent. Now, any president can declare a U.S. citizen, arrested in the U.S. as an “Enemy Combatant” and send them to Gitmo and military court.

But what about the Co-Presidents that ACTUALLY ran America from 2001 to 2009…Darth Cheney, and Rummy??

He might make him look better but never good.

It’s working so far, which is no easy feat.

It doesn’t raise Bush’s stature — it lowers the minimum standard.

No. It’s a pot to enrich t* and his fellow nazis at the expense of everyone else in this country. It might seem elaborate from the outside, but it is real just that, theft by nazism wrapped in a flag and carrying a buybull.

Gotta disagree. Trump certainly makes W look better in comparison, but that’s like saying being stabbed in the chest with a paring knife is better than having your head chopped off. The only thing that will ever make W’s presidency look “great” is delusion and denial.

Former White House adviser Steve Bannon depicted former President George W. Bush as bumbling and inept, faulting him for presiding over a “destructive” presidency during his time in the White House.

“There has not been a more destructive presidency than George Bush’s,” Bannon added, as boos could be heard in the crowd at the mention of Bush’s name.

The remarks came during a speech thick with attacks on the Washington status quo, echoing his call for an “open revolt” against establishment Republicans. He called the “permanent political class” one of the great dangers faced by the country.

A small group of protesters gathered outside the hotel where Bannon spoke, chanting and waving signs — one displaying a Nazi swastika. The protesters were kept behind steel barricades on a plaza across an entrance road at the hotel, largely out of view of people entering for the event.

Bannon’s politics would hurt the GOP, including among affluent, well-educated voters who play an important part in county elections.“Inviting him was a moral and political blunder,” Pitney said in an email.

maybe not ‘great’, but sure makes Bush The Lesser look smarter

tRump makes a retarded frog look smart!

“Since he came out against Trump, I’ve decided that Charlie Manson is a swell guy and a great patriot!”

Some of us have had that suspicion for yea… Dang. Has it been only months?Anyway… Dubya was NOT a great president, but also, he was NOT a miserable excuse for a human being.

Lordy, I almost fell off the chair laughing at this one.

That’s like comparing a train wreck to a plane wreck, they’re both disasters.

When you compare starting a pointless ground war to possibly provoking a pointless nuclear war, yes, the twerp looks better than our Manchurian Candidate.

Obummer already did that.

Trump does make W look like he was a smart, deliberative president.

I don’t know about you but the Trump Administration is making the Obama Presidency look better all the time!

The Trump administration makes George W Bush look a lot better. not great, better. We have a long way to go before his total incompetence makes America great.
